Exciting news for Stephen King fans this month, as his new collection of four novellas If It Bleeds was released. While you wait to get your copy, here’s a list of Stephen King read-alikes we’ve put together for you in Overdrive/Libby. We love every book on this list, but especially Cataract City and The Saturday Night Ghost Clubby Canadian novelist, Craig Davidson. Each is a heartbreaking coming of age story reminiscent of King’s early work like The Body (Stand by Me)and The Shawshank Redemption. But if it’s pure terror that you’re looking for, check out The Ruins by Scott Smith or Intensity by Dean Koontz.

We hope you enjoy these book suggestions. Happy Reading!

About Author

Trudi from Non-Fiction Collections

Natural habitat: Bingeing Netflix with my cat. I love scary movies and have been reading Stephen King since I was 11. Getting to see Hamilton in New York City was the thrill of a lifetime. My subject area for the library is everything nonfiction, including my favorites: memoirs, cookbooks, true crime, self-help, history and documentaries.
